| 1 | Sodium oligomannate therapeutically remodels gut microbiota and suppresses gut bacterial amino acids-shaped neuroinflammation to inhibit Alzheimer's disease progression显示文摘Recently,increasing evidence has suggested the association between gut dysbiosis and Alzheimer's disease(AD)progression,yet the role of gut microbiota in AD pathogenesis remains obscure.Herein,we provide a potential mechanistic link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and neuroinflammation in AD progression.Using AD mouse models,we discovered that,during AD progression,the alteration of gut microbiota composition leads to the peripheral accumulation of phenylalanine and isoleucine,which stimulates the differentiation and proliferation of pro-inflammatory T helper 1(Thl)cells.The brain-infiltrated peripheral Th1 immune cells are associated with the Ml microglia aaivation,contributing to AD-associated neuroinflammation.Importantly,the elevation of phenylalanine and isoleucine concentrations and the increase of Th1 cell frequency in the blood were also observed in two small independent cohorts of patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI)due to AD.Furthermore,GV-971,a sodium oligomannate that has demonstrated solid and consistent cognition improvement in a phase 3 clinical trial in China,suppresses gut dysbiosis and the associated phenylalanine/isoleucine accumulation,harnesses neuroinflammation and reverses the cognition impairment.Together,our findings highlight the role of gut dysbiosis-promoted neuroinflammation in AD progression and suggest a novel strategy for AD therapy by remodelling the gut microbiota. | Xinyi Wang Guangqiang Sun Teng Feng Jing Zhang Xun Huang Tao Wang Zuoquan Xie Xingkun Chu Jun Yang Huan Wang Shuaishuai Chang Yanxue Gong Lingfei Ruan Guanqun Zhang Siyuan Yan Wen Lian Chen Du Dabing Yang Qingli Zhang Feifei Lin Jia Liu Haiyan Zhang Changrong Ge Shifu Xiao Jian Ding Meiyu Geng | 2019 | Cell Research2019,29,10: | 192 |
| 2 | Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 (previously 2019-nCoV) infection by a highly potent pan-coronavirus fusion inhibitor targeting its spike protein that harbors a high capacity to mediate membrane fusion显示文摘The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease(COVID-19)caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in Wuhan,China has posed a serious threat to global public health.To develop specific anti-coronavirus therapeutics and prophylactics,the molecular mechanism that underlies viral infection must first be defined.Therefore,we herein established a SARS-CoV-2 spike(S)protein-mediated cell-cell fusion assay and found that SARS-CoV-2 showed a superior plasma membrane fusion capacity compared to that of SARS-CoV.We solved the X-ray crystal structure of six-helical bundle(6-HB)core of the HR1 and HR2 domains in the SARS-CoV-2 S protein S2 subunit revealing that several mutated amino acid residues in the HR1 domain may be associated with enhanced interactions with the HR2 domain.We previously developed a pan-coronavirus fusion inhibitor,EK1,which targeted the HR!domain and could inhibit infection by divergent human coronaviruses tested,including SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.Here we generated a series of lipopeptides derived from EK1 and found that EK1C4 was the most potent fusion inhibitor against SARS-CoV-2 S protein-mediated membrane fusion and pseudovirus infection with IC50s of 1.3 and 15.8 nM,about 241-and 149-fold more potent than the original EK1 peptide,respectively.EK1C4 was also highly effective against membrane fusion and infection of other human coronavirus pseudoviruses tested,including SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV,as well as SARSr-CoVs,and potently inhibited the replication of 5 live human coronaviruses examined,including SARS-CoV-2.Intranasal application of EK1C4 before or after challenge with HCoV-OC43 protected mice from infection,suggesting that EK1C4 could be used for prevention and treatment of infection by the currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging SARSr-CoVs. | Shuai Xia Meiqin Liu Chao Wang Wei Xu Qiaoshuai Lan Siliang Feng Feifei Qi Linlin Bao Lanying Du Shuwen Liu Chuan Qin Fei Sun Zhengli Shi Yun Zhu Shibo Jiang Lu Lu | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,4: | 81 |
| 3 | Transplantation of UC-MSCs on collagen scaffold activates follicles in dormant ovaries of POF patients with long history of infertility显示文摘Premature ovarian failure(POF) is a refractory disease for clinical treatment with the goal of restoring fertility. In this study,umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on a collagen scaffold(collagen/UC-MSCs) can activate primordial follicles in vitro via phosphorylation of FOXO3 a and FOXO1. Transplantation of collagen/UC-MSCs to the ovaries of POF patients rescued overall ovarian function, evidenced by elevated estradiol concentrations, improved follicular development, and increased number of antral follicles. Successful clinical pregnancy was achieved in women with POF after transplantation of collagen/UC-MSCs or UC-MSCs. In summary, collagen/UC-MSC transplantation may provide an effective treatment for POF. | Lijun Ding Guijun Yan Bin Wang Lu Xu Yan Gu Tong Ru Xiaoying Cui Lei Lei Jingyu Liu Xiaoqiang Sheng Bin Wang Chunxue Zhang Yanjun Yang Ruiwei Jiang Jianjun Zhou Na Kong Feifei Lu Huaijun Zhou Yannan Zhao Bing Chen Yali Hu Jianwu Dai Haixiang Sun | 2018 | Science China(Life Sciences)2018,61,12: | 43 |
| 4 | Controlling angular dispersions in optical metasurfaces显示文摘Although metasurfaces have shown great potential for manipulating light,most previously realized meta-devices suffer from uncontrolled angular dispersions,making them unfavorable for many applications.Here,we propose a general strategy to realize optical metasurfaces with desired angular dispersions based on carefully controlling both the near-field couplings between meta-atoms and the radiation pattern of a single meta-atom.Utilizing such a strategy,we experimentally demonstrate a series of optical meta-devices with predesigned angular dispersions,including two incident-angle-insensitive absorbers,one incident-angle-selective absorber,and one multifunctional meta-polarizer whose functionality changes from a perfect mirror to a half-waveplate as the excitation angle varies.Finally,we design a gradient meta-device using meta-atom arrays with purposely controlled angular dispersions and numerically demonstrate that it can exhibit distinct wavefront-control functionalities when illuminated at different incident angles.Our findings establish a new platform for achieving angle-multiplexed functional meta-devices,significantly expanding the wave-manipulation capabilities of optical metasurfaces. | Xiyue Zhang Qi Li Feifei Liu Meng Qiu Shulin Sun Qiong He Lei Zhou | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 11 |
| 5 | Photodegradation of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl) benzotriazole(UV-P) in coastal seawaters: Important role of DOM显示文摘Benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BT-UVs) have attracted concems due to their ubiquitous occurrence in the aquatic environment,and their bioaccumulative and toxic properties.However,little is known about their aquatic environmental degradation behavior.In this study,photodegradation of a representative of BT-UVs,2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl) benzotriazole (UV-P),was investigated under simulated sunlight irradiation.Results show that UV-P photodegrades slower under neutral conditions (neutral form) than under acidic or alkaline conditions (cationic and anionic forms).Indirect photodegradation is a dominant elimination pathway of UV-P in coastal seawaters.Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from seawaters accelerate the photodegradation rates mainly through excited triplet DOM (3DOM*),and the roles of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical are negligible in the matrixes.DOM from seawaters impacted by mariculture exhibits higher steady-state concentration of 3DOM*([3DOM*]) relative to those from pristine seawaters,leading to higher photosensitizing effects on the photodegradation.Halide ions inhibit the DOM-sensitized photodegradation of UV-P by decreasing [3DOM*].Photodegradation half-lives of UV-P are estimated to range from 24.38 to 49.66 hr in field water bodies of the Yellow River estuary.These results are of importance for assessing environmental fate and risk UV-P in coastal water bodies. | Xi Chen Jieqiong Wang Jingwen Chen Chengzhi Zhou Feifei Cui Guoxin Sun | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,11: | 6 |
| 6 | Crystal structures of D-psicose 3-epimerase from Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 and its complex with ketohexose sugars显示文摘D-Psicose 3-epimerase(DPEase)is demonstrated to be useful in the bioproduction of D-psicose,a rare hexose sugar,from D-fructose,found plenty in nature.Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 has recently been identified as a DPEase that can epimerize D-fructose to yield D-psicose with a much higher conversion rate when compared with the conventionally used DTEase.In this study,the crystal structure of the C.cellulolyticum DPEase was determined.The enzyme assembles into a tetramer and each subunit shows a(β/α)8 TIM barrel fold with a Mn2+metal ion in the active site.Additional crystal structures of the enzyme in complex with substrates/products(D-psicose,D-fructose,D-tagatose and D-sorbose)were also determined.From the complex structures of C.cellulolyticum DPEase with D-psicose and D-fructose,the enzyme has much more interactions with D-psicose than D-fructose by forming more hydrogen bonds between the substrate and the active site residues.Accordingly,based on these ketohexosebound complex structures,a C3-O3 proton-exchange mechanism for the conversion between D-psicose and D-fructose is proposed here.These results provide a clear idea for the deprotonation/protonation roles of E150 and E244 in catalysis. | Hsiu-Chien Chan Yueming Zhu Yumei Hu Tzu-Ping Ko Chun-Hsiang Huang Feifei Ren Chun-Chi Chen Yanhe Ma Rey-Ting Guo Yuanxia Sun | 2012 | Protein & Cell2012,3,2: | 6 |
| 7 | Cathepsin B-responsive nanodrug delivery systems for precise diagnosis and targeted therapy of malignant tumors显示文摘The tumor microenvironment(TME)significantly influences cancer evolution and therapeutic efficacy.Targeting biofunctional molecules to the TME has long been appreciated as a means of raising local drug concentrations and reducing systemic toxicities.The booming nanotechnology field has realized the importance of cathepsin B to derive a variety of intelligent enzyme-responsive nanosized drug delivery systems(nanoDDS)to improve treatment responses and clinical outcomes.In this tutorial review,after introducing the molecular structure and physiological/pathological functions of cathepsin B,the outstanding achievements of cathepsin B-responsive nanoplatforms in the precise diagnosis,targeted therapy,and synergistic theranostics of malignant tumors are systematically described.Finally,the challenges of enzyme-substrate incompatibility,low diagnostic sensitivity,mass production and biocompatibility of multifunctional nanoDDS are considered in order to successfully promote them to clinical applications. | Yanan Li Ting Mei Shupeng Han Tao Han Yongbing Sun Hui Zhang Feifei An | 2020 | Chinese Chemical Letters2020,31,12: | 5 |
| 8 | Air pollution, food production and food security: A review from the perspective of food system显示文摘Air pollution negatively impacts food security. This paper reviews the current literature on the relationship between air pollution and food security from the perspective of food system. It highlights that agricultural emissions which substantially contribute to air pollution could happen at every stage along the food supply chain. Meanwhile, air pollution can not only affect plant growth and animal health but also shift market equilibrium of both agro-inputs and outputs in the food supply chain and thereby affect food security indirectly. Furthermore, this study evaluates the effects of agricultural policy and energy policy on food security and air pollution, respectively, and provides an overview of potential policy instruments to reduce air pollution while ensuring food security. Finally, we identify the remaining research and policy issues for further studies, mainly focusing on the study of household's bounded rational behaviors and the issue of rural aging population. | Feifei Sun DAI Yun Xiaohua Yu | 2017 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2017,16,12: | 5 |
| 9 | Effects of Cu^(2+)and humic acids on degradation and fate of TBBPA in pure culture of Pseudomonas sp.strain CDT显示文摘Soil contamination with tetrabromobisphenol A(TBBPA) has caused great concerns;however, the presence of heavy metals and soil organic matter on the biodegradation of TBBPA is still unclear. We isolated Pseudomonas sp. strain CDT, a TBBPA-degrading bacterium, from activated sludge and incubated it with ^(14)C-labeled TBBPA for 87 days in the absence and presence of Cu^(2+)and humic acids(HA). TBBPA was degraded to organic-solvent extractable(59.4% ± 2.2%) and non-extractable(25.1% ± 1.3%) metabolites,mineralized to CO_2(4.8% ± 0.8%), and assimilated into cells(10.6% ± 0.9%) at the end of incubation. When Cu^(2+)was present, the transformation of extractable metabolites into non-extractable metabolites and mineralization were inhibited, possibly due to the toxicity of Cu^(2+)to cells. HA significantly inhibited both dissipation and mineralization of TBBPA and altered the fate of TBBPA in the culture by formation of HA-bound residues that amounted to 22.1% ± 3.7% of the transformed TBBPA. The inhibition from HA was attributed to adsorption of TBBPA and formation of bound residues with HA via reaction of reactive metabolites with HA molecules, which decreased bioavailability of TBBPA and metabolites in the culture. When Cu^(2+)and HA were both present, Cu^(2+)significantly promoted the HA inhibition on TBBPA dissipation but not on metabolite degradation. The results provide insights into individual and interactive effects of Cu^(2+)and soil organic matter on the biotransformation of TBBPA and indicate that soil organic matter plays an essential role in determining the fate of organic pollutants in soil and mitigating heavy metal toxicity. | Yini Ma Yingying Zhao Yongfeng Wang Xiangzhen Li Feifei Sun Phillippe Francois-Xavier Corvini Rong Ji | 2017 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2017,29,12: | 5 |
| 10 | Identification of the starting reaction position in the hydrogenation of (N-ethyl)carbazole over Raney-Ni显示文摘Hydrogenation of carbazole and N-ethylcarbazole over Raney-Ni catalyst were realized in the temperature range of 393-503 K. 4[H] adduct dominated the hydrogenation products and the formation of 2[H] adduct was the rate-limiting step during the period, in which the conversion of carbazole was less than 40%. The hydrogenation process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and the hydrogenation activation energies of carbazole and N-ethylcarbazole were 90 k J/mol and 115 k J/mol, respectively. The reaction starting position as well as the pathway of the hydrogenation of(N-ethyl)carbazole were investigated by comparing the kinetic characteristics of hydrogen uptake of carbazole and Nethylcarbazole. The results showed that the reaction was a stepwise hydrogenation process and the first H2 was added to the C1 = C10 double bond in the hydrogenation. | Feifei Sun Yue An Lecheng Lei Fuying Wu Jingke Zhu Xingwang Zhang | 2015 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2015,24,2: | 4 |
| 11 | Trust-Based Context-Aware Mobile Social Network Service Recommendation显示文摘The service recommendation mechanism as a key enabling technology that provides users with more proactive and personalized service is one of the important research topics in mobile social network(MSN). Meanwhile,MSN is susceptible to various types of anonymous information or hacker actions. Trust can reduce the risk of interaction with unknown entities and prevent malicious attacks. In our paper,we present a trust-based service recommendation algorithm in MSN that considers users' similarity and friends' familiarity when computing trustworthy neighbors of target users. Firstly,we use the context information and the number of co-rated items to define users' similarity. Then,motivated by the theory of six degrees of space,the friend familiarity is derived by graph-based method. Thus the proposed methods are further enhanced by considering users' context in the recommendation phase. Finally,a set of simulations are conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithm. The results show that the friend familiarity and user similarity can effectively improve the recommendation performance,and the friend familiarity contributes more than the user similarity. | XU Jun ZHONG Yuansheng ZHU Wenqiang SUN Feifei | 2017 | Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences2017,22,2: | 4 |
| 12 | Role of TRIM33 in Wnt signaling during mesendoderm differentiation显示文摘Tripartite motif 33(TRIM33), a member of the transcription intermediate factor 1(TIF1) family of transcription cofactors,mediates transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-β) signaling through its PHD-Bromo cassette in mesendoderm differentiation during early mouse embryonic development. However, the role of the TRIM33 RING domain in embryonic differentiation is less clear. Here, we report that TRIM33 mediates Wnt signaling by directly regulating the expression of a specific subset of Wnt target genes, and this action is independent of its RING domain. We show that TRIM33 interacts with β-catenin, a central player in Wnt signaling in mouse embryonic stem cells(mESCs). In contrast to previous reports in cancer cell lines, the RING domain does not appear to function as the E3 ligase for β-catenin, since neither knockout nor overexpression of TRIM33 had an effect on β-catenin protein levels in mESCs. Furthermore, we show that although TRIM33 seems to be dispensable for Wnt signaling through a reporter assay, loss of TRIM33 significantly impairs the expression of a subset of Wnt target genes, including Mixl1,in a Wnt signaling-dependent manner. Together, our results indicate that TRIM33 regulates Wnt signaling independent of the E3 ligase activity of its RING domain for β-catenin in mESCs. | Xiaojie Xia Feifei Zuo Maoguo Luo Ye Sun Jianbo Bai Qiaoran Xi | 2017 | Science China(Life Sciences)2017,60,10: | 4 |
| 13 | A novel battery scheme:Coupling nanostructured phosphorus anodes with lithium sulfide cathodes显示文摘Lithium-ion batteries are approaching their theoretical limit and can no longer keep up with the increasing demands of human society.Lithium-sulfur batteries,with a high theoretical specific energy,are promising candidates for next generation energy storage.However,the use of Li metal in Li-S batteries compromises both safety and performance,enabling dendrite formation and causing fast capacity degradation.Previous studies have probed alternative battery systems to replace the metallic Li in Li-S system,such as a Si/Li2S couple,with limited success in performance.Recently,there is a focus on red P as a favorable anode material to host Li.Here,we establish a novel battery scheme by utilizing a P/C nanocomposite anode and pairing it with a Li2S coated carbon nanofiber cathode.We find that red P anode can be compatible in ether-based electrolyte systems and can be successfully coupled to a Li2S cathode.Our proof of concept full-cell displays remarkable specific capacity,rate and cycling performances.We expect our work will provide a useful alternative system and valuable insight in the quest for next generation energy storage devices. | David Sichen Wu Guangmin Zhou Eryang Mao Yongming Sun Bofei Liu Li Wang Jiangyan Wang Feifei Shi Yi Cui | 2020 | Nano Research2020,13,5: | 4 |

| 15 | Ultrafast optical response and ablation mechanisms of molybdenum disulfide under intense femtosecond laser irradiation显示文摘Numerous valuable studies on electron dynamics have focussed on the extraordinary properties of molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2));however,most of them were confined to the level below the damage threshold.Here the electron dynamics of MoS_(2) under intense ultrafast laser irradiation was investigated by experiments and simulations.Two kinds of ablation mechanisms were revealed,which led to two distinct types of electron dynamics and final ablation morphology.At a higher fluence,the emergence of superheated liquid induced a dramatic change in the transient reflectivity and micro-honeycomb structures.At a lower fluence,the material was just removed by sublimation,and the ablation structure was relatively flat.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic(XPS)measurements demonstrated that thermal decomposition only occurred at the higher fluence.Furthermore,a theoretical model was developed to deeply reveal the ultrafast dynamics of MoS_(2) ablation.The simulation results were in good agreement with the temporal and spatial reflectivity distribution obtained from the experiment.The electron and lattice temperature evolution was also obtained to prove the ablation mechanism.Our results revealed ultrafast dynamics of MoS_(2) above the damage threshold and are helpful for understanding the interaction mechanism between MoS_(2) and intense ultrafast lasers,as well as for MoS_(2) processing applications. | Changji Pan Lan Jiang Jingya Sun Qingsong Wang Feifei Wang Kai Wang Yongfeng Lu Yeliang Wang Liangti Qu Tianhong Cui | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 4 |
| 16 | SARS-CoV-2 infection aggravates chronic comorbidities of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in mice显示文摘Background:Cardiovascular diseases(CVDs)and diabetes mellitus(DM)are top two chronic comorbidities that increase the severity and mortality of COVID-19.However,how SARS-CoV-2 alters the progression of chronic diseases remain unclear.Methods:We used adenovirus to deliver h-ACE2 to lung to enable SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice.SARS-CoV-2’s impacts on pathogenesis of chronic diseases were studied through histopathological,virologic and molecular biology analysis.Results:Pre-existing CVDs resulted in viral invasion,ROS elevation and activation of apoptosis pathways contribute myocardial injury during SARS-CoV-2 infection.Viral infection increased fasting blood glucose and reduced insulin response in DM model.Bone mineral density decreased shortly after infection,which associated with impaired PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling.Conclusion:We established mouse models mimicked the complex pathological symptoms of COVID-19 patients with chronic diseases.Pre-existing diseases could impair the inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection,which further aggravated the pre-existing diseases.This work provided valuable information to better understand the interplay between the primary diseases and SARS-CoV-2 infection. | Yuanwu Ma Dan Lu Linlin Bao Yajin Qu Jiangning Liu Xiaolong Qi Lei Yu Xu Zhang Feifei Qi Qi Lv Yunpeng Liu Xudong Shi Caixian Sun Jing Li Jie Wang Yunlin Han Kai Gao Wei Dong Ning Liu Shan Gao Jing Xue Qiang Wei Sidan Pan Hong Gao Lianfeng Zhang Chuan Qin | 2021 | Animal Models and Experimental Medicine2021,4,1: | 3 |
| 17 | Efficient generation of complex vectorial optical fields with metasurfaces显示文摘Vectorial optical fields(VOFs)exhibiting arbitrarily designed wavefronts and polarization distributions are highly desired in photonics.However,current methods to generate them either require complicated setups or exhibit limited functionalities,which is unfavorable for integration-optics applications.Here,we propose a generic approach to efficiently generate arbitrary VOFs based on metasurfaces exhibiting full-motrix yet inhomogeneous Jones-matrix distributions.We illustrate our strategy with analytical calculations on a model system and an experimental demonstration of a meta-device that can simultaneously deflect light and manipulate its polarization.Based on these benchmark results,we next experimentally demonstrate the generation of a far-field VOF exhibiting both a vortex wavefront and an inhomogeneous polarization distribution.Finally,we design/fabricate a meta-device and experimentally demonstrate that it can generate a complex near-field VOF-a cylindrically polarized surface plasmon wave possessing orbital angular momentum-with an efficiency of-34%.Our results establish an efficient and ultracompact platform for generating arbitrary predesigned VOFs in both the near-and far-fields,which may find many applications in optical manipulation and communications. | Dongyi Wang Feifei Liu Tong Liu Shulin Sun Qiong He Lei Zhou | 2021 | Light(Science & Applications)2021,10,4: | 3 |
| 18 | Knock in of a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene induces ALS in rats显示文摘Background:The GGGGCC(G4C2)repeat expansion in the human open reading frame 72 on chromosome 9,C9orf72,is the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS).Studies in transgenic mouse models have linked the pathogenic mechanism of G4C2 repeat expansion to RNA foci or the accumulation of unnatural dipeptide repeats in neurons.However,only one of the existing transgenic mouse lines developed typical ALS.Methods:C9orf72 knockin rats were generated by knockin of 80 G4C2 repeats with human flanking fragments within exon1a and exon1b at the rat C9orf72 locus.Protein expression was detected by western blot.Motor coordination and grip force were measured using a Rotarod test and a grip strength test.Neurodegeneration was assessed by Nissl staining with cresyl violet.Results:C9orf72 haploinsufficiency reduced C9orf72 protein expression 40%in the cerebrum,cerebellum and spinal cords from knockin rats(P<.05).The knockin(KI)rats developed motor deficits from 4 months of age.Their falling latencies and grip force were decreased by 67%(P<.01)and 44%(P<.01),respectively,at 12 months of age compared to wild-type(WT)mice.The knockin of the hexanucleotide repeat expansion(HRE)caused a 47%loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord(P<.001)and 25%(5/20)of female KI rats developed hind limb paralysis at 13 to 24 months.Conclusion:Motor defects in KI rats may result from neurotoxicity caused by HRE and the resulting reduction in C9orf72 protein due to haploinsufficiency.These KI rats could be a useful model for investigating the contributions of loss-of-function to neurotoxicity in C9orf72-related ALS. | Wei Dong Li Zhang Caixian Sun Xiang Gao Feifei Guan Jing Li Wei Chen Yuanwu Ma Lianfeng Zhang | 2020 | Animal Models and Experimental Medicine2020,3,3: | 2 |
| 19 | Urban Expansion of China from the 1970s to 2020 Based on Remote Sensing Technology显示文摘Based on Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) technology,urban expansion of 75 cities in China from the 1970s to 2020 was reconstructed by visual-interpretation method,which described the growing process of urban lands and its influences on local land use structures synchronously.By employing annual expansion area per city and urban expansion density,spatial-temporal characteristics and macro patterns of urban expansion were analyzed from the aspects of regional-distributions,administrative-levels and population-sizes comprehensively.Results indicate that:1) urban expansion in China was universal,distinct,persistent,periodic and fluctuating.In the past five decades,urban lands of 75 monitored cities in China expanded dramatically from 3606.26 km2 to 30 521.13 km2.2) Though urban expansion presented significant differences from the aspects of regional distribution,administrative levels,and population sizes,it exhibited a deceleration trend in the 13th Five-Year Plan among all kinds of cities.3) Cultivated lands were the first land resource for urban expansion,and 55.17% of newly-expanded urban lands appeared by encroaching this land use type.China’s urban expansion has caused sustained pressure on cultivated land protection,especially in super megacities,and the contradiction between urban expansion and cultivated land protection will always exist.4) The compactness of urban lands in China increased before 1987 and reduced in the next three decades,which was consistent with the implementation of major policies and the deployment of national strategies,and is expected to become compact with a stopping declining or even rebounding after the 13th Five-Year Plan. | LIU Fang ZHANG Zengxiang ZHAO Xiaoli LIU Bin WANG Xiao YI Ling ZUO Lijun XU Jinyong HU Shunguang SUN Feifei WANG Yafei | 2021 | Chinese Geographical Science2021,31,5: | 2 |
